Hey Dave,

First, just FYI, the HTH was the "hope that helps" :-)
I'm Mike...

I lucked out; the '99 Wolfsburg Edition came with a boatload of
goodies, not the least of which was the "plus" suspension, and most of
the options
from the A3 line other than leather seats and the VR6. I walked into
the dealer to see what was available and bought the Jetta WE. They
were the last of the
A3s to come off the line. Some might have been disappointed to get the
A3 instead of the A4, but I'm very pleased with her. She earned her
keep as my
"service" vehicle as a support engineer for 7.5 years - always got
pleasant reviews from customers who rode to lunch, etc... Now she's
"semi-retired".

The NS supercharger is designed around the crossflow head from the ABA
and AEG engines. I'm not familar with the Audi engines enough to know
if you have
a crossflow head. I suppose you could put an ABA head on it if
necessary. If I ever get the head off mine, it's getting a port and
polish to flow better.

You could put the euro-G grind cam in yours, I suppose. Find a used NS
big bore throttle body, maybe?
Get a 4 into 2 exhaust manifold and a TT catback exhaust? I'm sure
there are several options!
Plan your upgrades well in advance and just slog your way through
collecting them.

Good luck with your project! Currently I'm working on restoring the
'81 pickup.

Best Regards,
JPZ
